Logistics: When and How?

We have attempted to make the Alternative Giving campaign as flexible aspossible, giving you all the tools you may need, but leaving the logisticaldecisions up to you.

You can run your campaign over one or more weeks between November andChristmas, depending on the emphasis you want to place on it. However, we dorecommend you distribute gift catalogs to church members at least one week inadvance of the offering collection, to give them time to look over and pray aboutthe available options.

Your campaign can be as simple as having congregation members drop orderforms and checks into the offering plate one Sunday, or it can develop intosomething much bigger.

On a side note, if you are concerned that placing a lot of emphasis on yourAlternative Giving campaign will detract from your church pledges or annualChristmas offering, think again. Juanita Scontos, the long-time Alternative GivingCampaign Coordinator at Aldersgate UMC in Virginia, says her church has seenno negative effects on their normal offering. We have done ... Alternative Giving... for five years now and find that it has no effect on either stewardship orChristmas envelopes for December, she wrote. In fact, Scontos says her churchactually saw an increase in Christmas giving the first year they did the campaign.

LEARN FROM A VETERAN CHURCH TRY A GIVING BAZAAR

Aldersgate UMC in Virginia has hosted an annual Alternative Giving campaign tobenefit the Methodist Mission in Cambodia for many years now.

Their program has reported great success with their Giving Bazaar approach tothe campaign, wherein church members visit a store set-up, with tablesshowcasing different catalog items available for purchase. At each table,members can learn more about the gifts and why they are needed. They can alsopick up a Christmas card insert there, which will inform someone on theirChristmas shopping list that a gift has been purchased in their honor and give

more details about the specific gift (a cow, a university scholarship, etc.) (Theseprintable inserts are available at the our Scribd site,www.Scribd.com/altgiving.) These card inserts are then taken to a check-outcounter and paid for.

Juanita Csontos, Alternative Giving Coordinator at Aldersgate says thebest fund raiser we have is our Alternative Giving Christmas bazaar inDecember.

You can experience the same success by mimicking their simple Giving Bazaarformula:

1. Set up tables with information & displays on specific gift items. Make

sure to have print-outs of the Christmas card inserts corresponding tothose gifts, as well as order forms available at these tables.

2. Set up a centralized check-out table with the ability to take cash orchecks

3. Have church members peruse the display tables, picking up the cardinserts for the gifts they want to purchase, as well as adding those giftsto their order form

4. When finished shopping, members take their order forms and cardinserts to the check-out table, where they write one check (or pay incash) for all their gifts. If the church is providing the Christmas cards forthe inserts to go into (check out one churchs success with this approachhere), the cards are also distributed at this check-out table.

The Catalog: How to use it

We encourage churches to make the catalog available to their congregations inhardcopy format. This helps members feel more connected to the campaign bygiving them a tangible link to the campaign that they can hold in their hands.

Moreover, committing the time and resources to print them out will give yourcongregation a real sense of the importance you are placing on your AlternativeGiving campaign.

As far as timing goes, we suggest churches distribute the catalog at least a weekin advance of taking any offering related to Alternative Giving in order to givemembers time to peruse their options.

HOW TO PRINT YOUR CATALOGS

We understand many churches will not have the resources to print a batch ofglossy, full-color catalogs, so weve made the catalog available in a wide range offormats from professional print quality to catalogs designed for printing inblack-and-white on a home or office ink-jet.

Participation: Its not just a fundraiser. Its a missionawareness campaign.

The Alternative Giving Campaign is about so much more than fundraising. Itsabout growing awareness of all of our programs here in Cambodia. We dont just

want your money this Christmas season. We want your thoughts, prayers andconversations.

With this aim in mind, we encourage you to find unique ways for the differentpeople groups in your congregation to participate in and own the project besides the obvious monetary donations.

One easy way is through the handouts (available on Scribd) aimed at specificgroups within your congregation, including one each for UMW and womensgroups, childrens Sunday School classes, and UMYFs or youth groups. (Checkout the handouts sectionof this handbook for more details).

CHILDRENS CHRISTMAS CARDS

Mt. Tamalpais UMC in Mill Valley, Calif., gets its children involved in theircampaign by asking Sunday School classes to create the Christmas cards thatthe a gift in your honor inserts can be glued to. This way, church members havea very personalized gift to give a friend or loved one, informing them about thegift that has been purchased in their honor.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS OR SMALL GROUP SPONSORSHIP

Other possibilities include having a Sunday School class or other type of groupunite behind a particular catalog item (or category of items i.e., agriculture,womens projects, childrens projects, scholarships, etc.), having them research itand do a short presentation on it during a church service. When researching,they will have plenty of resources at their disposal in the form of the catalog,handouts and Christmas card inserts, and they can always email questions aboutcatalog items to [email protected].

If your church decides to pursue the Giving Bazaar approach to the campaign

(detailed earlier in this handbook, here), they could even prepare and staff atable focusing on that item during the bazaar.

PROMOTE PARTICIPATION THROUGH LOCALIZATION

Garner interest in your Alternative Giving Campaign by customizing it with theaddition of local mission or charity projects. The Order Forms three-letter prefix

7/17

system (detailed here in this handbook) easily allows for the inclusion of newprojects. Just write up the details of the projects you want to include, assign thema three-letter, two-digit catalog number (LOC, for example would work great todemark it as a local project), and insert the write-up as a supplemental pageinto the Alternative Giving Catalog.

Just make sure you take the time to separate these local orders from thoseassociated with The Advance before you submit your orders by mail or online (asdetailed here).

Handling Donations

The Short-form Order Form is intended to be distributed with the AlternativeGiving Catalog. As it appears in this handbook, the order form will print two per81/2 x 11 page, and we encourage you to print it double-sided, with the Online

Giving Instructions (also included in this handbook) on the back, so memberscan donate online by credit card if they prefer.

The short order form is designed to be simple, streamlined and understandableto your donors, and therefore, like the catalog itself, does not include thecorresponding Advance Numbers for the catalog items, which are long and oftenvery similar to one-another, possibly leading to confusion.

This makes the process easier for donors who are simply turning in a short-formorder form, but does add one more step for campaign coordinators and churchadministrators who are handling the donations for an entire church, or for

individual donors who are participating in Alternative Giving independent of anorganized campaign.

To submit the orders, you must first determine which Advance number thecatalog items of your choice correspond to. This can be accomplished easilyenough using this key, which is also included on the Short-form Order Form:

As you see from this key, each three-letter catalog prefix corresponds to a singleAdvance Number. For example, CDA51 (Buy a Cow) and CDA21 (Fund a SmallBusiness Start-up Loan) both have the same prefix (CDA), and both go toAdvance #14916A, Community Health and Agricultural Development, as shown

on this Number Key.

You will need to know a catalog items Advance Number in order to donate onlineor to fill out the long-form church summary order sheet and donate by mail,both of which options are discussed in greater depth below.

You should also note that, as the asterisk next to the RES prefix indicates,donations made to catalog items with this prefix, which corresponds to the


12/17

Cambodia Mission Initiative Advance Number, must be denoted as designatedfor Christian Education, which does not have an Advance Number of its own.These funds will go into the Country Directors general operating budget, and,when correctly demarked for Christian Education by you, will be set aside forthe development of Childrens Resource Materials and Sunday School Teacher

Training, as the catalog items indicate.

SUBMIT DONATIONS VIA MAIL

Perhaps the easiest way for campaign coordinators or church administratorstasked with handling donations for an entire church to turn in said donations is tofill out thelong-form church summary order sheet that includes all the ordersfrom the entire church. Then you can mail it, along with a check reflecting itstotal, to your conference treasurer or directly to the General Board of GlobalMinistries of the United Methodist Church at:

Advance GCFAP.O. Box 9068, GPONew York, NY 10087-9068

DONATING ONLINE

Individuals and entire churches can also donate online. Thorough step-by-stepinstructions for donating online through the Advance website,www.advancinghope.com, are included here in this handbook.
